What's in my trash (vol. 4)

I have some products in my trash to share with you guys. Below are the products that I've either used up til the very last drop, or the one I can't stand using anymore. I guess it would be useful to briefly describe how they ended up in the trash.

Shiseido UltimuneApparently this is Shiseido's best selling serum, but I don't find it helpful at all. My skin did not like the product since the beginning. It gave me slight break out for the first few times I use it. I gave it a second try after the break out subsided, although there was no bumps appearing, but there was no improvement to my skin any way. So I decided to ditch it. Couldn't finish the sample bottle and I'm not going to waste my time on it.

Evolu Balancing Day CreamThis moisturizer is made from 100% natural ingredients. I love the light texture, not sticky and natural formula. However, I feel that in terms of repairing, it does not perform that well. I have use three quarter of it, I can pretty much say it is not a bad product. It just didn't deliver much but good for staple use.

Hada Labo Mild Peeling Lotion

When no brands send me any facial toner, this is the one I go for. It is cheap and effective. A bottle cost about RM50 and it last about 4 months. The gluconic acid removes the top layer of dead skin and reveal a new layer of skin. Because of this performance, it can also minimize your pores, fine lines and dark spots. I highly recommend this.

Pantene Pro-V Aqua Pure Shampoo

Pantene shampoo and my scalp don't go along very well, until I found this no-silicone shampoo from Pantene's new line (not so new by the time I'm blogging this). The pure collection line by Panten has light weight formula with no added silicone, paraban, dye and perfume. If you have oily scalp, try this shampoo.

Lancome Advanced Genefique

This is my beauty holy grail! New bottle is on its way and I can't wait to continue using it. For full review click <<here>>.

SK-II Facial Treatment EssenceAnother product that I can't live without. You probably have seen it in every of my What's in my trash blog post. For full review click <<here>>.

SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion

The SK-II FTE can be a hit or miss depending on your skin's level of tolerance to the product. If your skin don't suit the FTE but you still want to reap the goodness from SK-II's product, try using the Facial Treatment Clear Lotion. This is actually a toner. It's is good, but considering the price, I will skip this and take Hada Labo anytime.

Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder

I love this! It keeps my foundation matte throughout the day. And the price isn't that pricey. Ditch the sponge inside and apply with a fluffy blush instead. The downside is, there are only 3 colours available.

Schwarzkopf Extra Care Hair Repair

Not sure what to comment about this. I use it as a conditioner and it gives me a result of conditioner, not hair mask. I don't think I will repurchase this.

Bath & Body Works Sweet Pea Shower Gel

I think this is the best scent in BBW. It has a sweet floral scent that reminds you of summer during teenage years. I hope I make sense. I have the candle too. If you stumble into BBW shop and not sure which scent to pick, take this! Will purchase the full size, definitely!

ZA Perfect Fit Liquid Foundation

This is my weekday foundation. It is very easy to wear, the texture is very light and the coverage is buildable. One of the best drugstore foundation to choose.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

The shade that I have is in Stockholm. I have been looking for this shade in Sephora but it is always sold out! Although the texture is matte, the formula is creamy so it does not dry out the lips. Also, this can be an alternative for the #LipKitByKylie. It swatch like Candy K.

SK-II Stempower Cream

This is my staple moisturizer. It is great if you can afford it. Apply daily and it will preserve your skin from fine lines, breakouts, and dark spots. I need to earn some money to repurchase this. I love it and I will recommend this to everyone who wants a flawless skin.
